Can we call the H/T/M Matt? So Matt managed to do what he wanted, but then he was displeased? Was Matt displeased at the results of doing what he wanted? Did something go wrong? Are the incidents cause and effect? Or unrelated?

Can we call the H/T/M Matt? SureSo Matt managed to do what he wanted, but then he was displeased? YesWas Matt displeased at the results of doing what he wanted? YesDid something go wrong? KindaAre the incidents cause and effect? Yesish, he does it under certain circumstances...Or unrelated? See above

Is it relevant that he was a teenager? Could the same apply for an older person? a girl/woman? It could just as well happen to a girl Matt's age and also to an adult who fulfils a certain condition. It could happen to a child, too, but it might be less likely.

Okay, so...I should have been asking the obvious questions. Is this something that really happened? Do you know "Matt" personally? If not a true story, is it FYOI? FSEI? Irr, it really did happen (supposedly) but I don't know the person personally and I also changed their gender, hoping to confuse you guys with the Garfield reference in the title xD Well, looks like I failed, though ;-)

Did this occur over a weekend? A school week? The event itself happened on a school week but something that happened the weekend before is important, too Is school relevant? Yes, in a way Did he do something stupid? Kinda Something that his parents would not approve of? Yes, but probably in a way that's different from what you might think But he realized he would get caught? FA

You said he is old enough to spend a couple of days without his parents around. Was actually on his own for some time? If so, relevant how long? And did he stay in his parents house all the time (except for when he was in school etc)?

You said he is old enough to spend a couple of days without his parents around. Was actually on his own for some time? If someone else was with him, they didn't tell him a thing that his parents probably would've told him at some point If so, relevant how long? Yesish, it's about two days at least And did he stay in his parents house all the time (except for when he was in school etc)? Not necessarily, but no matter if he was indoors and outdoors, he didn't do certain activities

Was he trying something else? Something he needed to be awake untill a certain time to accomplich? And forgot that the clock was supposed to be turned back one hour? Or was it the other way - he had to stay asleep untill a certain time?

Was he trying something else? Something different from what? He eventually tried to do something and made it, but in the end, he wasn't happy about it. Something he needed to be awake untill a certain time to accomplich? Yes... And forgot that the clock was supposed to be turned back one hour? Yes Or was it the other way - he had to stay asleep untill a certain time? So no to this one

Relevant the exact time he'd wanted to wake up? The exact time in hours and minutes isn't relevant but he had to do something until a certain time. Or just that he woke up an hour too early? see previous question

Did he want to wake up at that time in order to see something? Not really But not have to wait too long for it? Which he did, because he woke up an hour early? Well, he had to wait eventually and he certainly didn't want that.

Did he want to make sure he didn't oversleep? Um, I'd have to say no here. But instead he woke up an hour too early? Did he arrive at school an hour too early as well? And had to wait there for an hour? Yes to all but there's a little more to it.

Just to confirm - he did arrive one hour too early at his own school, right? Yes Relevant how he got there? Noish

Assuming he got there an hour early. Did he wait in the school area all the time? Did something bad happen to him during that hour? Or after maybe? No, except that he realized he was too early. Irr to the rest. Did his class mates realize and started teasing him?

You're probably thinking too complicatedly. Think of what might have happened before he left his home and take into consideration that his clock wasn't set correctly. Consider the starting post, too.

Did he think he was late and rushed, only to find out that the clock has changed and he arrived earlier? Yes, indeed

***************** SPOILER *****************

The weekend on which the clock was set to winter time, Matt stayed at home without anyone to look after him and remind him that the clock had to be changed. He didn't have any appointments nor did he watch TV or do anything else that would've made him aware of the change of time. Thus, he spent the entire Sunday thinking that it was one hour later than it really was.

The next morning (Monday, when he had to go to school), he slept in, that is, he slept about one hour longer than usual, but due to the clock change, he actually got up perfectly on time. However, due to his wrongly set clock, Matt thought that he was late for school and went there in a mad rush in order to get there punctually. Eventually, he managed to arrive there just in time (according to his watch) and was really pleased with himself, but when he wasn't able to find any of his classmates anywhere, he realized what had happened. So then he was really angry with himself, not only because he had forgotten about the clock change and now had to spend one hour waiting, but also because his rush was completely in vain. Thus, the very thing that had made him happy just one minute ago made him displeased.

This (supposedly) happened to a girl who posted this very story for the Embarrassing Moments section of a magazine I read a huge bunch of years ago.
